a big bump

the pac 10 officiating was pretty dreadful 5 years ago....i think there has been a decent improvement in the last couple years.

Dave Libby is absolutely terrible.

Dave Libby is absolutely terrible.

And your qualifications to make such a statement are:

1) current NCAA D1 official
2) current NCAA D1 assignor
3) current NCAA D1 evaluator
4) fat-azzed fanboy sitting in La-Z-Boy who's never officiated a game in their life.
5) other.

If "other", please tell us your officiating background.

Just wondering. Also wondering why you brought this up a year plus later.

Also, why is Dave Libby so terrible? From an officiating standpoint?

The fans in the Pac 10 have been going downhill lately. I understand that they watch re-runs on Fox Pacific,complain about the officiating on last year's games, and open old threads on officials bulletin boards.

Whatever happened to the creative Stanford and Cal fans that used to pull those crazy stunts on each other?

Besides the age of this thread, Dave Libbey is a great official. Sure, he has probably seen better days, but he tries to do right by the game. Some fans might have a problem with him because he doesn't bow down to anybody. One official from the east coast went so far as to say Libbey is the only official from the west that he would work with, given the choice.

I'll put a year's salary on #3.

Soooo.....you think JR's making a connection between college evaluators and "fat-azzed fanboy sitting in La-Z-Boy who's never officiated a game in their life."???!!

I know I don't. Not me, nope, no way no how.
